Fighting that battle inside of me is how these Valentine Yarn Hearts were born.

I think I won 😉

You see, my kids were aching to create . . . I was aching to create . . . so I decided to combine the two.

This project turned out to be fun for me to make, display, and take images of, while the kids had a wonderful time creating them.

They just kept making more and more and I had fun plopping or stringing them here and there.

Just in time to feel a little festive Valentine excitement. I love this sweet little Holiday, right in the month where we need a little pink and love in our lives.

The supplies for this project are basic, and the process is simple. Watch this fun little clip for a quick glance at the process, and then I’ll walk you through with some tips.

This was my husbands first video he has done for me, and a whole new world of creating for us. We are hooked, and there is sure to be more video coming at you. I would love to have you CLICK HERE TO subscribe to our new channel to catch all the updates.

Supplies:

Yarn

Tape

Cardboard

First trace and cut your heart shapes out of the cardboard. I wish we would have given a little more depth and distinction to the heart center dip part, but any size and shape will work just fine. Just explore your cookie cutter stash for shapes, and dream up yarn pumpkins, yarn Christmas ornaments, yarn Easter Eggs . . . oh the possibilities!

To make it easier for the kids, tape the end of the yarn onto the cardboard.

Then just start wrapping and wrapping around some more. Keeping it tight is going to be key.

Go until all the cardboard is covered and finish with a few loops around the center of the heart.

If you want a loop to hang the heart, simply cut the yarn end and loop it into the yarn that is tightly wound around the heart.

Finish it off with a couple of knots.

You can tuck the end inside the yarn for a cleaner look.

Hang them around the home for a cute and festive Valentine garland.

I have to say, it felt so rewarding to make something the whole family could enjoy participating in.

Big thanks to the hubs for cutting out our cardboard hearts and making the video 😉 I think he secretly loves to get roped into my projects.

Cami, this is such a sweet project. Love the soft pink color. Did you use a box cutter to cut out the hearts? I’m having a Valentine Brunch for girlfriends and I’m thinking that the heart garland would be so cute. Just wonder the most efficient way to cut out the hearts. Thanks so much.Carol Lander recently posted…Your Inspired Design Link party #70

SO CUTE! Got my hearts cut out, and I’m going to do this craft tonite with my mom. She has some dementia, so this will be perfect to do with her! I’m going to make make a strand with only two on it, to hang from a hook or in the center of a wreath!

Wooow… So sweet!! This is so creative idea. It’s very cute and festive Valentine garland. I will try to my home to make it. I have seen, your video was great and it’s very helpful tips. Thank you for sharing the post.
